17. Off And Running
18. California Nights
Where can I even begin with Lesley Gore, the very talented and beautiful icon (among others such as Priscilla Paris, Diane Ray, Bernadette Caroll, etc. etc. etc.) of 60's bubble gum pop. For most of you who are semi-familiar with this amazing woman (or 60's pop culture,) you'll first think of the hits such as "It's My Party," "California Nights," and, most obviously, "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows." Though all great songs, I found her material to be deeper than sunshine and joy. All sorts of emotions pour out of the songs on this album, even with earlier feminist lyrics in "You Don't Own Me." It's an instant classic, great for sipping your favorite cocktails, maybe reading a good book, and a quiet night in or a party night out. Invite some friends over for a "dance party" or whatever it is you kids are doing these days, and enjoy the night...
There is one hard to find track of pure self pity called "I Can Not Hope For Anyone" that was also re-done by french pop singer/actress/astrologer by the name of Francoise Hardy, which was a French psychedelic version of the song...
